So Sarah's wearing an Aussie shirt, yes, sir, And I

9
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:37.560
have these Ozsie glasses.

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:38.000
I've worn for years.

11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.439
Originally I called them by John Lennon glasses and then

12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.320
I looked at him like, no, They're more like Ozsie glasses.

13
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.960
I've been wearing them since he passed away. And last

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.880
week at Bourbon I was interviewing Neil, Gerardo and Giraldo

15
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.560
and I went to take them off in the interview

16
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.439
with the headphones on and snapped, oh no, no, bombed.

17
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.560
I think you saw that me with them last week

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:04.079
at Bourbon.

19
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:04.359
Right.

20
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.519
Hey, you know what's so funny, man, In the back

21
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.719
of our tent, we have a sunglass graveyard.

22
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.680
Yeah, because sunglasses just don't survive.

23
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:13.079
I bet yeh.

24
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.760
A bunch of them are mine. I was talking about

25
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.480
that with Jose from Serious. It's like he has the

26
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.000
ray bands. You know, and I want to get them.

27
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.239
But I'm like, I am so bad with sunglasses, Like

28
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.480
I'm buying a new pair every week or two.

29
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:28.040
Now.

30
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.959
I mean, festivals and sunglasses, Man, they do not go together.

31
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.239
They do not in our world anyway.

32
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.959
I'll even leave them somewhere or in the pit, I

33
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.000
lose them or whatever, it doesn't matter.

34
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.040
Yeah, yeah, yep.

35
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.519
So tell me about you have an ouzy thing in

36
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.680
your tent? Yeah, man, tell me about that.

37
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.840
So you know the thing over at Music Experience that

38
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.200
when we really started. One of the things that we

39
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.560
got fascinated with early on in the story that we

40
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.680
wanted to tell was I always used Jimmy Hendrix as

41
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000
kind of our our kind of our northern light.

42
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:02.319
Right.

43
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.920
So everybody loves Jimmy Hendrix, right obviously, but it's our

44
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.280
job to tell the story that Jimmy Hendricks without jim

45
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.960
Marshall and without Leo Fender. When you hear Jimmy Hendricks,

46
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.240
what you're hearing is a Marshall, a Fender Stratt plugged

47
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.639
into a Marshall. So when people see Hendricks, but what

48
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.599
they're hearing is they're hearing a Fender through a Marshall.

49
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.080
Right, I love that.

50
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.120
So in the Jimmy Hendricks story, Leo Fender and Jim

51
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.919
Marshall are characters within the Jimmy Hendrick story. So we

52
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.520
kind of took that approach with Ozzy. And so we

53
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.240
have all of the signature guitars that his guitar players

54
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.319
have used, right, So we have Iomi's sg we have

55
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.800
Jakie Lee's Sharvel, we have Gush G's Star guitar, we

56
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.879
have Brad Gillis's Stratt, and we have Zach's Bullseye, and

57
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.719
we have Iomi's Laney guitar. Rig over there you seed

58
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.360
one more, you know that, right, So we only had

59
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.840
a room for a couple, but yeah, we figured man,

60
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:17.159
those were the most known, right and they had signature guitars.

61
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.240
So that that's our world, you know.

62
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.879
We want to show that all of these guys were

63
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.599
kind of characters within the Azzy story and riffs and

64
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.800
guitar playing were so important to the Azsy sound. We're

65
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.879
kind of celebrating the sound of Ozzy more than.

66
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.280
Ozzy in our world.

67
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:34.360
I love that.

68
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.280
And little tidbit about me, you might not know I

69
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.360
saw Ozzy, Well, I've seen Auzzie every year since like

70
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.560
nineteen eighty. I even had Blizzard of Odds on eight track.

71
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.800
Oh wow, Okay, so mister Crowley between track two and

72
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.479
track three it split up because if you remember the

73
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.639
eight tracks, like it would split a song.

74
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:54.199
I remember.

75
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.240
Yeah, of course, mister Crowley would fade out and you'd

76
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.919
hear the track click to the extract and then it

77
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.000
would fade back in the rest of the song. Oh nice,

78
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.599
I'm thinking about that, like that's freaking stupid.

79
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.759
Yeah, yeah, kind of in our world. And once again,

80
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.680
it doesn't take anything away from the rock stars, not

81
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.199
taking anything away from Ozzie, not taking anything away from Hendricks.

82
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.040
But in our world, you know, we celebrate the sound.

83
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.639
It does make a different Leo Fender, Jim Marshall, Bob Taylor,

84
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.120
Paul E. Smith, Orville Gibson, John d Angelico. These are

85
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.040
the guys that are kind of like our rock stars,

86
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.480
and we amplify their stories and then the artists within

87
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.600
their stories. So we just celebrate the sound because the

88
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.600
sound is what we hear.

89
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.399
I think it makes a difference, Like I think there's

90
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.319
a reason why certain ours play certain brands because it

91
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.680
makes their signature sound not just them, but the sound

92
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.399
of the instrument.

93
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.800
Well, so, so to your point, one of the things

94
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.560
that we talk with a lot of students and young

95
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.360
people that come through, and we wanted to show this

96
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.319
year that we have big posters of all of our founders,

97
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.399
Bob Taylor, Les Paul, Paul Reach Smith, John Dy, Angelicoe.

98
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.560
We have big posters to celebrate our founders. But with

99
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.240
each one of those founders is a belief system. There's

100
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.480
a reason why Leo Fender did bolt on next right,

101
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.000
There's a reason why PRS does the guitars the way

102
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.360
that they do. There's a reason behind every one of

103
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.560
the ideologies behind the guitar. And there's nothing better to

104
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.680
when do you play a guitar that has your belief

105
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.360
system that you want to be characters in the story.

106
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.480
And these are guys' names with beliefs.

107
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.360
So we celebrate those beliefs and we stop telling the

108
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.399
stories of our founders and the stories of the beliefs.

109
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.360
At some point we stop telling those stories. And I

110
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.560
don't know why, but it's our job to keep doing it.

111
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.199
Oh, I think so, because like so, let me ask

112
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.160
you a question too, As somebody that played guitar and sucked,

113
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.680
we all do, right, I'm thinking while you're saying that,

114
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.439
some like, well, maybe I was on the wrong brand.

115
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.279
Maybe there's a better brand that would make me better.

116
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.680
Does that exists to an extent?

117
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:15.000
Sure, if you're inspired by guy X, right, but you're

118
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.120
playing a different guitar, a different amp, a different set

119
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.680
of pedals, and right like, you're not gonna sound like

120
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:23.319
that person.

121
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:23.560
Right.

122
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.920
So it's a little different today because all the secrets

123
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.920
are exposed. Everybody makes a great guitar, right, right, everybody

124
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.600
makes a great guitar in a thousand bucks.

125
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.040
It's a testament that just the technology is caught on.

126
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.120
But man, like, there's brands that sound like If you

127
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.800
want to sound like Hendrix, you're playing a strat Right.

128
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.120
If you want to sound like Hendrick, you're playing a

129
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.360
Stratfield Marshall, there's no replacement for that.

130
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.519
You want to sound like Ioma, you want to sound

131
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.959
like Sabbath, you're playing through a Laney.

132
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.759
And if you're trying to sound like certain characters and

133
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.000
with the wrong gear, year, you're not gonna sound like them.

134
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.439
To your point last week, I also, before I played guitar,

135
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.959
I played drums for years. I ended up sucking at

136
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:07.000
that too. And then I sang thresh metal after guitar.

137
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.399
Sucked at that too, so now I do this.

138
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.839
But seriously, though, the highlight of last Weekend and Bourbon

139
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.759
Beyond for me was Ringo Starr because number one. That

140
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.079
was like a bucket list because I was a huge

141
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.879
Beatles fan when I was a kid, so much so

142
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.360
that what made me start playing drums were two people,

143
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.120
Ringo Starr and Peter Cris.

144
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.959
It was also a huge Kiss fanatic. I was bipolar.

145
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.639
I had my whole room posters and literally spit split

146
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.240
down the middle, Beatles on one side, Kiss on the other.

147
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.040
But the first thing I looked at when Ringo was

148
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:49.639
performing was that he still plays the same brand that

149
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.199
he has always played, because I remember being a little

150
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.360
kid in like Ludwig is that's what Ringo plays? Yeah, man,

151
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.319
you know, and you know Peter Chris played Pearl, you know,

152
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.399
And I was looking up there, I'm like, oh my god,

153
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.360
he still plays Ludwig like he has not changed. So

154
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.879
to me, that proves your point because that's Ringos sound

155
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.160
on that drums, on.

156
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:11.879
That drum kip.

157
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.879
Maybe if he played a Pearl he would have sounded,

158
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.879
but who knows it doesn't matter because he played he

159
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.680
played Ludwig.

160
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.160
So like, that's the sound.

161
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.560
Last week at Bourbon so you talk about the Beatles

162
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.319
so with Ringo that that was a big thing for

163
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.079
me too. Write love the Beatles, but like the Beatles,

164
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.839
Like you want to sound like Paul McCartney. You play

165
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.759
a Hoffner through a box, right, that's the sound of

166
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:32.559
Paul McCartney.

167
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.840
I have a trivia question for sure. Finish what you're saying, though, No.

168
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.480
But the Beatles had very you know, they they had

169
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.679
gear that made them sound like the Beatles. If the

170
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.600
Beatles play through marshalls, they wouldn't sound like the Beatles, right,

171
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.240
So if you have a Marshal at home and you

172
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.159
have a Gibson less Paul at home and you like

173
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.200
the Beatles, well you ain't gonna sound like the Beatles.

174
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.840
See that's great InFocus. I think ninety people don't know that.

175
00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:00.639
They don't know because nobody's telling those stories anymore. And

176
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.559
we have to tell stories. Stories are what carry our

177
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.039
folklore in our industry.

178
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.799
And if you watch guitars when they're switching guitars.

179
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.080
There's the reason. There's a reason based on the song.

180
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.840
And most people don't think of that either. It's like

181
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.600
why they have so many guitars. No, it's not because

182
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.279
they're collecting guitars like baseball card.

183
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.679
Right right reason.

184
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.919
Yeah, dude, if these guys could have one guitar that

185
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.240
did everything, they would have that guitar, right, But you

186
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.360
have guitars for different things, and guitars sound differently totally.

187
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.120
So I have two trivia questions.

188
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.919
For first one we'll do it is in reference what

189
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:39.639
you're just talking about. Who is the most famous bassist

190
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.600
in history that was not a bassist? I mean it was,

191
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.080
but he was really a guitarist and pulled the short

192
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.120
straw and had to play.

193
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.080
Bass, Toddy McCartney.

194
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.000
That's correct.

195
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.759
And so now if you go lit and people listen,

196
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.679
if you go listen to the beads Now and you

197
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.240
specifically listen for the bass, he plays it like a guitar.

198
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.120
The greatest Paul McCartney bass line ever, still a little

199
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.159
love songs. There you go, it's the greatest bass line ever.

200
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.799
And yeah, but like a bass player doesn't play bass

201
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.559
like that. You know, that's somebody playing lead bass. Yeah, yeah,

202
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.919
that's a guitar player playing bass.

203
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.240
Yeah, because it was John and George also played guitar.

204
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.440
They didn't have a bass player. Paul, you're the bass player.

205
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.320
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean yeah, so, but you know,

206
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.240
there's a lot of guitar player guys that go over

207
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.080
to bass and they just rip, you know.

208
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.519
I see that a lot, you know. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Okay.

209
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.200
Second one back, I went and saw Ozzy one year,

210
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.039
three times in one year, three different guitarists. Can you

211
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.519
tell me who those three different guitarists were, all in

212
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:48.559
the same year. Hmmm, And I'll give you a hint.

213
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.759
One of the guitarists only played one show.

214
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.759
Well, now I'm interested, so you tell me, because I

215
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.480
don't think I know this, Okay.

216
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:03.200
I saw Randy okay, then Randy right, and then Pat

217
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.679
Traverers Pat Travers laid an off gig yep, and then

218
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.039
it was Brad Gillis yep.

219
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.759
Yeah, you know what, You're right. I wouldn't have remembered.

220
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.519
I knew it was Randy's era, right, So.

221
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.799
I knew that Pat was going to be the trick part.

222
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.879
Yeah yeah, God man, did you see some of those shows?

223
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.759
I saw all three? No way really?

224
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.039
Yeah, Like I saw Ozzie wit Randy on New Year's Eve.

225
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.080
Funny story about that, Like, so it was one of

226
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.200
those gigs where I told my dad I was sleeping

227
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.080
at my friends. He said he was told inspiency to

228
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.159
sleep at my house and we went to Ozzie Yeah, yeah, okay,

229
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:42.159
and then we get we get home and I lived

230
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.559
in LAKELANDUO in Gora, California, where we had a lake

231
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.440
in the backyard, but you had to go down this hill.

232
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.200
So we're hanging out at the bottom of the hill

233
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.200
in my backyard but my parents, my dad couldn't see. Yeah,

234
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.039
so we're hanging out till it's warning and I could

235
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:58.720
walk in like okay, I'm home, and my next door

236
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:04.159
neighbor she comes out and she's like, oh, boys, did

237
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.000
you just go to Ozzie show last time? I'm like, oh, fucker,

238
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.879
b busted, busted. She's like, wait there, I'm gonna get

239
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.799
my husband now. I'm really scared. Uh oh really busted.

240
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.840
Husband brings me up there and my friend turns out

241
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:25.080
he's Azzie's promoter. Next door fucking neighbor I didn't even know,

242
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.080
brings me into his studio in the house, which was

243
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.679
wall the wall, cassettes the whole and gives us a

244
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:36.159
whole bunch of Ozzie swag, and then he hands me

245
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:40.120
this cassette tape. He goes and this also pertains to

246
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.159
I think it's this festival. It's either this one or Aftershock,

247
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.279
because they're all swirling, and he goes, listen to this band.

248
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.600
They're gonna be big in about six months. They're not

249
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.440
here yet, they won't be to us for six months,

250
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.519
but they're really big where they're from. And here here's

251
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.960
your cassette tape. You can have a preview of what

252
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:09.679
they sound like. It was except really and I remember

253
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.360
turning on and hearing Fast as a Shark and I'm.

254
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.960
Like, oh my god.

255
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.080
And then like one of my best friends has Dan

256
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.440
Spitz for Manthraxing, and he says to me, he goes,

257
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.320
We all sat around like meaning the Big Four, and

258
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:29.360
we're like, that's the first thrash metal song ever Fast

259
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.240
as a Shark. That's when they started playing double bass,

260
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.000
When like Lobardo started playing double bass and all of

261
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.279
them started doing it was because of that song.

262
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.639
So let me ask you, what is your What do

263
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.840
you think is the most underrated Ozzie record.

264
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.879
That's a good question.

265
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.919
I'm thinking I almost have to say this last one

266
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.039
because it was pretty badass with so many badass people

267
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.360
on it. And I'm not sure people talk as much

268
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.240
about this Patient number nine as all the rest of them.

269
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.519
Yeah, I'll tell you, man, I love the Gush G record. Man,

270
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.360
the Scream record, Okay, I thought it was great, but

271
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.360
I know people that they have their own opinions of it.

272
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:09.559
Man.

273
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.279
I thought Ultimate Sin was probably his most underrated, but.

274
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.320
My favorite record is correct Man. Diary of a Madman's

275
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.879
my favorite. And I actually got to shoot Ozzy, which

276
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.559
is a rare occurrence because he doesn't normally he didn't

277
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:28.000
normally allow photographers. It was at that festival Moonfest when

278
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.759
we had the total eclipse, the real famous one, Oh

279
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.240
yeah yeah, And he was going to do Bark at

280
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.720
the Moon during the total eclipse, and it was where

281
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.919
it was located, was the epicenter, like the longest part

282
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.559
of and so we're sitting there all the press people

283
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.879
and I had a photo pass and they're like, yeah,

284
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.559
you guys aren't gonna be able to shoot this, and

285
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.399
they come out five minutes there. Okay, Ozzie changed his mind,

286
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.080
you can all shoot no way. And I was standing

287
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.639
like directly under him while a total eclipse was happening.

288
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:00.960
Like pictures I.

289
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.840
Can put a great moment in time, they.

290
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.159
Look like black and white pictures. But it was the

291
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.320
eclipse and I was just looking up at him like

292
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.279
I was right under him and he was looking down

293
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.759
like giving me the shots and stuff. That was if

294
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.840
you want to talk about fanboy moment, there was one

295
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.120
that was one. There's not many I've had. That's one

296
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.519
of them. I'm like, oh my god, I'm shooting out,

297
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.480
and even more so now that he passed, because I

298
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.720
pulled up that old album. I'm like, I'm looking at

299
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.919
all the photos I'm gonna upload, and I'm.

300
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:33.120
Like, holy shit, these are really good photos with Austin.

301
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.120
It's so funny when when you've done this as long

302
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.799
as we have, like you never really know who you're

303
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.799
gonna fanboy for, because we like to think, oh man,

304
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.440
you know, we'd never fanboy, but you don't know.

305
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:44.679
Man.

306
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.600
I've kind of caught myself in like very very things

307
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:51.840
that I would never have, you know, Like I met

308
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.679
Frank Hannon from Tesla Nice and I was just like,

309
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.840
I remember like when I bought the Renaissance record Man,

310
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.600
Modern day cowboys like watching it like I don't know, man,

311
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.000
Like I met him and I went right back to being,

312
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.799
you know, twelve years old watching TV and it was

313
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.720
very strange.

314
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.840
And he's such a nice guy.

315
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:10.759
It's just but you know, when we do the festival

316
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.039
stuff like we do, you're around so many of the

317
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.039
artists that you don't fanboy. Then you meet somebody who

318
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.200
kind of gets you back to these really happy moments

319
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:19.759
in your life.

320
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.200
And you know what gets me too, is like when

321
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.679
they're really cool people.

322
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:25.320
Okay.

323
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.960
So, and a lot of times back here in media,

324
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.240
people talk. I don't listen to anybody like I've heard

325
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.080
people say like negative things about artists. I'm like, maybe

326
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.679
it's just that you didn't get an interview and now

327
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:42.200
you're like sour bud or whatever. So there's one female

328
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.679
that I always joked about on my live show that

329
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.799
was basically I used to joke, she's the love of

330
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:54.799
my life, okay, and people said, oh, she's not nice,

331
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:01.039
Oh she's this, she's that. And so at Rockville, I

332
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.079
was walking from an interview and my wire was dragged on.

333
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.279
The ground and this big dude comes up, he like

334
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.559
picks it up for me. He's like, be careful, man,

335
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.039
and he's helping me out.

336
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.319
And then I go over my table and Christine's like

337
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:15.799
she's doing something on the table. She's like, I hope

338
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.920
you don't mind. I'm using your table because Amy Lee

339
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.880
is gonna come over here and be signing stuff. So

340
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.240
I'm like, okay, cool, Can I stick around. She's like yeah,

341
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.640
just don't ask for an interview.

342
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.200
Yeah, I like I will.

343
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.759
And then so then one dude asked I wouldn't have

344
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:37.839
done this, but one dude, the press dude asked for

345
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.799
a picture. She did a picture. So I went to this.

346
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.759
Turns out that big dude, what's her security guard? I

347
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:44.599
didn't even know it. So I went up to him.

348
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.480
I'm like, hey, since you helped me out, can I

349
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:47.319
get a picture with you?

350
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:48.480
Yeah?

351
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.519
And he goes sure. It was the first time ever

352
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.519
in history my phone was not in my pocket. I

353
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.279
left it wherever I did the interview. I'm like, oh fuck,

354
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.400
and I'm like running over you get my phone back,

355
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.960
and Christine's like, yeah, she's got to go now, it's

356
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.079
too late. And Amy came up and she's like, no,

357
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:11.279
I wanted you to pick with him. And at that point,

358
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.200
I was fanboy. And to your point, it was because

359
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.720
everybody said all this stuff and she was so sweet

360
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.559
and nice and it was so bad that it's probably

361
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.640
the worst picture of me ever because I was so

362
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.880
kind of flustered that I like put my head up

363
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.880
in the air and yeah, yeah, and so yeah, to

364
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.200
your point, you just never know, Like if it was

365
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.640
an interview, I wentn't a fanboy, but it was that

366
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.359
that she asked, no, I want to do it with him.

367
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.400
Yeah, And now you have the story attached to it,

368
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.319
and right, that's the moment there, it is.

369
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:44.039
That's the moment.

370
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.480
So how do people reach out to you guys?

371
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.559

372
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.000
don't have to just come to a festival. And how

373
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.480
